"The basic plot is that Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton, the two undercover DEA agent Playboy Playmates from the last movie, are still running around in jungle shorts, cowboy boots and spaghetti strap T-shirts, firing their machine guns at drug smugglers, Filipino communist guerrillas, and corrupt federal agents while their two friends, Lisa London and Miss May 1984 Patty Duffek, lounge around the pool a lot and talk on speaker phones that look like fax machines."-Joe Bob on SAVAGE BEACH

Moneyball. Of course i have to admit that i was initially skeptical about the film being made as the book came out like 10 yrs ago and although Jonah Hill played.... Jonah Hill it was a good movie imo.

Sherlock Holmes. The trailer I saw looked like it was trying to say "Sherlock Holmes is cool now because he is on crack." The fact that Downey Jr. was in it didn't exactly help my opinion either. I can't remember how I got corralled into seeing the movie, but I was glad I did. I loved it! It reminded me so much of the old Wild Wild West TV series, which I really enjoy. Now I can't wait for the next Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes film.

I thought I'd find it mildly amusing, not drop-dead funny; the owls alone were worth the price of admission.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

The t.v. promos and trailers did not at all make it look like a good, funny, engaging movie. I remember seeing them as a kid and thinking it looked like a stupid movie. Then I saw it on cable and, even as a kid, realized it was gold. But it's weird, it was like there was no way of making a promo for that movie that made it look like an entertaining movie. The promos were basically clips of many of the one-liner jokes that a peppered throughout the movie, and in a trailer they did not work in the slightest, but in the context of the movie they were hysterical.

Good one. I thought, "Oh, no. Another stupid comedy. And to make it worse, Dudley Moore is in it." Eventually, I saw it and enjoyed it.

I still haven't seen ARTHUR because it looks like another stupid comedy.

Are you joking? You really have never seen it?

Not only have I never seen it, I have no plans to. I'm not boycotting it or anything, it just isn't on my "to see" list.

Well, I hate it when people tell me I have to see something, so I won't do that to you. Besides, you're a confident individual who is going to do invest your time in what is valuable to you. I was just surprised, given your wide and generally solid tastes (as I have noted at least), that you had not seen it or would consider it a "hands off" item. If it's a Dudley Moore thing, I can understand that, but I do think you should consider giving it a whirl. It's a classic and pretty damn funny actually.
